Lovely "welcome back" pour of HHSS this afternoon, before finishing up with some Stagg Jr (after giving it a more serious taste, I'm respectfully dropping the "bambi" moniker).

My previous experience with ETL has only been gold wax. It's great, actually to me, identical to current Blanton's. I tried a gold foil ETL for the first time on NYE side by side by Blanton's, and ETL disappointed.

Feeling like something different tonight, so pulled out an Old Charter 7yr BIB, distilled in 1964. I always enjoy this pour, and at times I think I even prefer it to my beloved OCPR SS. It is a very candied bourbon, full of butterscotch and candy corn. So viscous and thick on the tongue it's almost syrupy.

went to a nice dinner with Mrs. Foureyedfox. Not much of a bourbon selection, but they had regular KC. I hadn't had the regular in 9 months or so, so I chose that one. Quite an enjoyable drink, especially with the size the bartender poured!

I asked what the well bourbon was, and he smirked and embarrassing said, "ten high". I saw that conversation replay several times in the 45 minutes we sat at the bar waiting for a table. Who keeps Ten High as the well 'bourbon'?

I did some SBS of Larceny and OFITZ BIB (neither is a great bourbon IMO, but the Fitz shows it's youth in comparison). Afterwards had some EWSB 2004, 2003 and 2002. Now moving onto some 2013 Lot B. I haven't seen as many dissenting opinions on this as I have the 15 yr, but I really think this is a top notch buy at MSRP (long live state controlled stores!).

One kid asleep, one kid upstairs watching a movie, and the wife packing it in early. Me, diving into Breaking Bad the final season, and enjoying a healthy pour of ETL 15 Year. One healthy pour left--deciding if I am game, and if I am ready to send this gem to the recycle bin for good.
